At EconomicsTheory.co, we maintain uncompromising editorial standards to ensure that every article, explainer, and dataset analysis published on our platform is accurate, objective, pedagogically valuable, and intellectually honest.
1. Commitment to Truth and Factual Verification
Economics is an empirical science rooted in mathematical frameworks and real-world statistics. We require every economic claim, historical date, policy rate quotation, and statistical figure to be verified against credible, authoritative primary sources before publication. Writers and editors must trace data back to original releases from entities such as the RBI, IMF, World Bank, US Federal Reserve, MoSPI, or peer-reviewed academic journals.
2. Non-Partisan Analytical Objectivity
EconomicsTheory.co does not endorse political candidates, political parties, or legislative agendas. When discussing controversial economic topics—such as Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), aggressive industrial subsidies, or protectionist tariffs—our articles present competing schools of thought fairly, articulating the underlying assumptions, mathematical models, and empirical criticisms associated with each perspective.
3. Source Attribution & Plagiarism Prohibition
Plagiarism in any form is strictly prohibited. All quotations, direct theories, and external data points must be clearly attributed to their original authors and institutional publishers with explicit citations and outbound links. We respect intellectual property and academic copyright.
4. Transparency in AI & Quantitative Tools
Where algorithmic research assistants or automated econometric computation scripts are utilized in data gathering or chart formatting, human senior editors supervise the entire lifecycle. Every numerical calculation, equation derivation, and narrative conclusion is independently verified by human editorial review to eliminate synthetic hallucinations or unverified assertions.
5. Conflicts of Interest
Our editorial contributors must disclose any direct financial interest, equity holding, or consulting relationship with companies or organizations mentioned in their analyses. We do not publish paid “native advertising” or sponsored articles disguised as objective economic research.
